Amazon Prime members that logged onto Amazon's site yesterday may have caught a glimpse at the future of the service. If you go today though, there's no trace of it.

It's no secret that Amazon wants a piece of what Netflix has. Streaming
is big money, and the subscription based service has been making plenty
of it. Rumor had it that Amazon was considering a purchase of Netflix,
but it looks like they'll be introducing their own streaming service
instead.

Thanks to a few screenshots captured by an Engadget
tipster, we know that the planned streaming service will be free to
Amazon Prime subscribers. Since Amazon Prime is priced at $79 a year,
the cost per month comes out to $6.50 - cheaper than Netflix.

The source said that only SD movies were available during the time that
the option was available to him. There's no indication of just how many
movies and TV shows may be available through Amazon's subscription
service, but if the entire catalog can be viewed, Netflix may have
reason to worry.
